Obsession: Greek Yogurt - The Most Versatile Food in Your Fridge

When it comes to yogurt, go for Greek. Plain Greek.

We're in a Greek yogurt craze right now, and that's a good thing. Plenty of brands and flavors are on the market, and it's extremely good for you.

I live for my shopping day at Trader Joe's. It's probably the most exciting part of my week.

It feels like a ritual for me, and I feel so fulfilled after I come home with those brown TJ bags full of fresh produce, meat, and always a few impulse buys that I am eager to try.
